Mei Changsu: I Don't Want to Die! I Want to Cultivate Immortality!

Mei Changsu remained calm and unhurried, browsing through the chat records in the group all the way to Jinling.

Time passed.

They were nearly at Jinling.

Mei Changsu let out a long breath, rubbing his brow to ease his fatigue and lessen his headache.

He had finally finished reading all the chat records.

He had to admit that although there were very few people in this Chat Group, there were truly an astonishing number of chat records!

Having read through everything, Mei Changsu had gained some understanding of all the group members. At the very least, he now knew their basic information.

Among them, the most mysterious and terrifying was undoubtedly that Immortal Venerable.

That Immortal Venerable was a supreme existence on an entirely different level from the other members.

Thus, the Immortal Venerable rarely came out to chat.

That was perfectly normal. The gap between them was simply too vast; they had nothing in common to casually discuss.

Moreover, the people in the group likely could not chat casually with the Immortal Venerable with an ordinary frame of mind.

Fortunately, although the Immortal Venerable did not chat much with the group members and seemed somewhat aloof, Mei Changsu felt that the Immortal Venerable's character was undoubtedly exceptionally good.

The Immortal Venerable was like the stabilizing pillar of this Chat Group, someone everyone revered and trusted.

As he rubbed the Saint Spirit Stone in his hand, Mei Changsu sorted through his thoughts and immediately made a decision. He wanted to cultivate immortality as well!

Previously, his sole belief in surviving had been to clear the Chiyan Army's name.

But though he did not fear death, he did not want to die either!

Although he had lost much, he had also gained much.

Fei Liu, Lin Chen, the many brothers of the Jiangzuo Alliance, and the rest—these were all people he could no longer bear to part with, people he did not wish to say farewell to.

Because of the Fire Cold Toxin, there had been nothing he could do. He could not break free of fate and was destined to die.

Now that there was hope of living, Mei Changsu naturally did not want to, nor was he willing to, give up his life.

Unless someone had lost all hope in life, surely no one wanted to die, right?!

Mei Changsu clenched his fist, bright light gleaming in his deep eyes.

[Qilin Talent]: I am Mei Changsu. Greetings, immortals.

[Qilin Talent]: My body is far too weak, so I fainted earlier. I sincerely apologize.

[Qilin Talent]: @Judicial God; True Monarch, I would also like to trade Saint Spirit Stones for methods of becoming immortal and cultivation resources.

Mei Changsu explained why he had not come out to speak earlier, then sought to trade with Yang Jian for methods of becoming immortal and cultivation resources.

As expected of the Immortal Venerable. Just a few Saint Spirit Stones given away so casually could bring him such immense benefits.

At this moment, Mei Changsu's heart was filled with respect and gratitude toward the Immortal Venerable.

Perhaps to the Immortal Venerable, these Saint Spirit Stones were nothing much, but to a mortal like him, they were supreme treasures capable of letting him soar into the heavens!

Whether the Immortal Venerable cared, and whether he himself was respectful and grateful, were entirely separate matters.

The Immortal Venerable might not care, but that did not mean he could be ignorant of propriety.

[Call Me Group Owner]: Eh? Our Sect Master Mei, you're finally online. So you fainted? That explains it! (eye-roll.jpg)

[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: No matter. Once you enter the Qi Refining stage, you can cleanse your sinews and marrow, and all illnesses and injuries can be healed.

[Xiongba]: Indeed. Sect Master Mei's Fire Cold Toxin can be completely cured once he enters the Qi Refining stage.

[Prince Changqin]: This Fire Cold Toxin is quite fascinating. It can save lives and take lives alike; it could be called the most wondrous thing in the Langya World.

[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: It truly is fascinating. Without the Snow Scorpion Insect, Sect Master Mei likely would not have survived.

[Xiongba]: Perhaps that strange insect can be studied. These days, my Tianxia Hui has become a cultivation sect. We have already begun cultivating spirit plants and raising Divine Beasts.

[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: Uh... Sect Master Xiong, you actually raised the Fire Qilin in captivity?

[Xiongba]: I am currently researching the Fire Qilin's value. No matter what, it is still a Divine Beast.

Xiongba had slaughtered the Divine Dragon, one of the four great Divine Beasts, and sent its corpse to Sect Master Baiyue for research, obtaining an immortal scripture and quite a few cultivation resources in return.

Now, among the four great Divine Beasts, only the Fire Qilin remained. Naturally, Xiongba had to protect it carefully while also researching the qilin's value.

After all, although the Fire Qilin was weak, it was still a Divine Beast!

Even in the Cultivation World, Divine Beasts such as qilins were exceedingly rare.

Unfortunately, the phoenix and the black tortoise had both been hunted down. Although he had already killed Di Shitian and Xiao Sanshao and obtained Phoenix Blood and Black Tortoise Blood, their value could not compare to living Divine Beasts.

Shi Yaoyao had uploaded the basic information of every group member into the Group File, so Xiongba was extremely interested in the Fire Cold Toxin, Number One Under Heaven's strangest poison in the Langya World.

He was even more interested in strange insects like the Snow Scorpion Insect, wondering whether they could be cultivated into spirit insects.

Xiongba had now popularized basic cultivation methods throughout Tianxia Hui. Naturally, they were only Qi Refining methods; anyone who wanted higher-level cultivation techniques would need to make contributions.

Xiongba was now managing Tianxia Hui entirely according to the model of a cultivation sect.

At present, the entire Fengyun World was under Tianxia Hui's rule, and Xiongba had even built a new sect headquarters atop Kunlun Mountain, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains.

Of course, since he had established a cultivation sect, the name Tianxia Hui had to be changed as well. After all, Tianxia Hui had previously operated as a gang.

Xiongba named the sect: Bantian Immortal Sect!

It meant dominating all under heaven!

It was both domineering and related to his own name.

Xiongba was extremely satisfied with it.

[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: Sect Master Xiong is still one step ahead of me, as always.

[Xiongba]: Lin Jiu, you could ascend to the position of Maoshan Sect's leader and, like me, directly rule an entire world!

[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: Ahem, this poor Daoist does not possess such grand ambitions. Besides, I currently lack neither techniques nor resources. I still prefer my present life.

[Xiongba]: Fine, everyone's pursuits are different. Right now, I am quite interested in managing an immortal sect!

[Xiongba]: Oh, right. I have already dissolved Tianxia Hui and established an immortal sect called the Bantian Immortal Sect. What do you think? Isn't it imposing?!

[Call Me Group Owner]: Such an arrogant name. Xiongba, are you really not afraid of getting beaten up? (smirk.jpg)

[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: The name is imposing, certainly, but perhaps a little too imposing. (speechless.jpg)

[Xiongba]: The Bantian Immortal Sect already rules the entire world. I think the name suits it perfectly—dominating all under heaven!

[Judicial God]: @Qilin Talent; Certainly. Let us trade directly.

Another deal had come along, so Yang Jian naturally would not refuse.

Although he already had quite a few Saint Spirit Stones, Yang Jian felt that there were still far too few!

[Qilin Talent]: Many thanks, True Monarch. (cupped-hands.jpg)

Mei Changsu then sent the Saint Spirit Stones to Yang Jian in a red packet.

Yang Jian did not play favorites either. The techniques and resources he gave Mei Changsu were the same as those he had given Li Hanyi and the others.
